This Sunday 12th June we have a Cadet session on the water.
This is open to all Cadets who can sail a triangular course (Beat and Reach), but do not need to be a champion……yet!
This is to cover Andras’s session, as he cannot attend this weekend. My plan is to have some training, a couple of games and two short races that everyone can enjoy. For safety, Cadet are required to complete the full session and not come in early.
09.15 Briefing on Sea wall. (Please be changed and rigged).
09.30 Leave Beach
Parental help is needed please.
You should try to move your boat to the beach before 8.45 because of the Southend Half Marathon. See TBYC E-Mail and post.

This Saturday 28 May 2022 there will be a training session for cadets.
Briefing at the beach 9:45, going afloat at 10:00.
Safety: two RIBs with me and Mark
We need further safety crew parents, getting marks out, and help at the beach for launching and recovery
This session is not suitable for sailors who have never sailed before.
Minimium age is 8
Primary targets are sailors wishing to improve their tacking and basic upwind skills.
Sailing single handed if possible (not much benefit for the crew in these sessions).
Those who have been on the water a few times already, but not competent or not brilliant in sailing a triangular course. No racing experience, or little racing experience with lack of confidence.
As resources are limited, It is essential that you let me know if your sailor is coming.
For safety reasons the group has limitations. Your sailor may be asked not to come out if the numbers are unsafe. If I know in advance, we might organise do two sessions consecutively.

A big thank you to Nick, Chris, Rod, Julian and Howard for their help in organising and moving boats around the Dinghy Park last Saturday.
As a result there are a few boats that were moved to their allocated positions for this year. I have indicated that your boat was moved in the right hand column of the spreadsheet, whist every effort was made to secure boats as we found them, please check it is appropriately secured over the next few days.
Can all Lasers and Picos please tell their class captains if they are in a different position and I will then amend the plan appropriately.
If you have any questions, please contact me directly.
Enjoy the long Easter weekend at the Club!
